Question

State whether the following statement is true or false:
An adverb of frequency tells us how something is done or happens.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

The given statement is false. An adverb of frequency tells us how often an action takes place, i.e. the rate of occurrence. For example, regularly, twice, yearly, weekly, daily, sometimes, often and always. Whereas an adverb of manner explains how something is done or happens, like carelessly, safely, skilfully. Hence the given statement is false.
